Pinch the Penny.
I was asked to review a site, Pinch the Penny.com, that says it can help you with money saving ideas that could help you save hundreds of dollars each month.
Considering the state of our nations economy right now, a site like this could be very beneficial to most of us, if not all of us.
They have a 6-point savings plan mapped out.
Those 6 points are, credit cards, home phone, auto insurance, cell phone, internet access and coupons.
They also have a price comparison search engine, broken down by various shopping categories, or you can just search for your needed item, and find the best possible deals.
I tested the search engine by looking for an item I do need, a new HDTV antenna.
It broke down the price comparisons by each style of item, and then showed how many different prices are available for that item at the different stores.
For this review, I chose the very first antenna on the list, and it compared the 3 best deals from 3 different stores.
Two of the stores had the same price, one was slightly more expensive, but it also showed me the stores ratings based on other shoppers.
The price comparison search engine does exactly what it says it will, and works very quickly.
Each of their 6-point savings plans is broken down on the front page with their own subsections. You can click on the box for the area you'd like to find ways to save money in, and see how much money per year you could end up saving.
Each of those sections is very thorough, each service provider is rated according to quality and pricing, it's glance-easy to see which service provider could help you save the most money.
They also have a weekly deals page for internet specials, and on sale page to find price reductions and sales, and a printable coupon section along with an on line store coupons page.
There's also a way to find on line stores that are offering free shipping.
The site is well laid out, easy to navigate, and easy on the eyes.
No harsh colors or animated cursors.
There's a lot of information provided to help you save money.
I found some great prices on the things I have on my list of need to get items, and when the time comes to buy that new antenna, I will definitely be checking for the best possible prices.
I think Pinch the Penny.com is a great site for anyone looking to find more ways to save their families some money, especially now.
